breadboard

A breadboard is a device used by engineers and makers to create an electronic circuit. It looks like a piece of plastic or wood with lots of small holes in it. Inside the holes, there are metal clips that you can use to connect wires, resistors, capacitors, and other components together to create a circuit. You can think of a breadboard like the back of your TV or radio where all of the wires are connected together.
